SubjectRe: [RFC 2/2] netvsc: use RCU for VF net device reference

Thanks! I like the idea. Some nitpicks below ...

Why drop? In case VF is not running I guess it would be better to
receive the packet through netvsc interface.

And if the packet is broadcast and not multicast?

PATCH net 4/4 of my series drops gwrk.dwrk completely so depending on
the patch order this may not be needed...

I'd also suggest you split your patch into two - switch to using RCU and
stats changes as these changes are more or less independent.
